Selecting Discus

Ricardo, can you see this?

Attachment 93515

Yeah, I see the picture now. Great looking discus btw OP. Loss of slime coat isn't too terrible but they do look really stressed. Keep up with the water changes and keep checking your water parameters and keep posting them here.

Can slime coat be peeled on the tail? Because the tail look like it was peeling also and I thought it was fin rot, but I doubt it because, they were quarantined for a month.

They could possibly be ammonia burns. This can happen during shipping at times. Maybe this is what you are seeing?

I dont know if they are burns, I hope it isnt a case of fin rot, it shouldnt though because they were quarantined for a month and they looked health in his tanks. If I see its tail I will get take a picture and post it. Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it. I will update you!
Thanks again

No problem. Remember, clean water is the key here.

I checked my discus again and the other one was in this condition.

Is it a parasitic or disease problem?

I checked the other one and its tail, are these white spots?

Ok, this is what I think may be happening. I am assuming you just did a water change today or yesterday? To me, this looks like micro bubbles. You get these a lot during these months because of the cold. Basically, there are a lot of bubbles all through the tank. These are not good for your discus. It stresses them out and they lose their slime coat. The bubbles seem to have simply attached to the slime coat and that is what you are seeing. The solution is rather easy actually. Simply age your water for 24hrs and your problem will go away. The water of course would have to be heated and have air running through it.
